TORONTO — Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins is preaching patience.

Atkins addressed reporters at Rogers Centre this morning, hours before Toronto hosted the Tampa Bay Rays this afternoon.

The 20-minute news conference in front of the home dugout was mainly focused on the Blue Jays’ disappointing 19-24 record.

Atkins says that although the results haven’t been there, he’s encouraged by the sense of urgency in Toronto’s clubhouse.

He says that he appreciates manager John Schneider’s steady hand during a difficult span.
